When woman her home would decorate.
She stops not at obstacles, small or great;
But the funniest sight that her efforts afford
Is when she performs with a saw on board.
With her knee on a plank and the plank on a
chair,
She poises her saw with a knowing air.
Makes several dives at the penciled line,
And is Off with whiz the reverse of fin
With lips compressed, she bends down to the
work,
And crosses the timber jerkety jerk;
She can't keep the line, and her knee slips askew,
But she keeps to her work till the board splits in
two.
She has damaged the chair she has ruined the
saw
Her back is all aching, her hands, too, are raw,
And she finds, when to fit now the plank she
tries
It falls an inch short of the requisite size

EDNA MILLER SHELDRAKE.

Though birds forget their mates, the flowers
to bloom,
Though stars should tremble and fall out
their place,
And though the sun should change to mid
night gloom,
What of these, then, since they have run
their race?
The things appointed unto them have done,
Their destiny fulfilled, whate'er it be.
Are human loves and human lives begun
And ended in day so easily
That, like the violets, they're flung away,
Though crushed and dying, for the rose to
come?
What, though they fail to-day and yesterday
Is not the same? Is then the heart so
numb,
Like these frail things that feel not, cannot
That blossom sweetly, but insensate dumb;
Whose life is sunshine, and with it must go?
Why, cen the violets die-before the roses
come.
Oh! Loves high and holy, God-ike thing;
Not of the earth, but Heaven-born, divine;
For this is Love: In life sweet incense bring
And on Loves altar lay; or yet refine
The hearts affection, if needs be, with pain
And suffering; to wait, nor ask return;
To die, and count it still but highest gain.
IT'S Gods own lesson, given us to learn.
